The cheese of Equirrou finds its origin in the pastoral and cheese traditions of the Basque Country and Béarn.
In the Middle Ages, cheese tomes are used as money to pay for leases or sales contracts and represent the first source of income for shepherds.
Over the centuries, the product evolves little, the structures of the same. Each shepherd family makes its own cheese and sells it.
